The lens cleaned this time is an ASAHI OPT.(PENTAX) telephoto lens.
The lens is a little heavy because it is a telephoto lens.
The lens and the exterior are both in good condition.
Perhaps the lens has been handled with care because it is a little heavy.
There is no fading of the lettering at all and it works well.
It is an excellent lens.
No one would think that this lens is about 50 years old.
As I always say, Japanese technology is a wonderful thing!
Why don’t you join the world of vintage cameras!
